Nice. Engine sounds seem to work much more realistically now :-) you've absolutely nailed the main engine in terms of it shutting off when speed is constant nice one. If the same can be done for rcs so when you turn as it's fixed how quick you can turn, when the rate of turn is constant, again rcs should not be heard. :-). 3 patches in 6 days. You guys have a proper work ethic :-)

Nice. Has anyone heard back after expressing interest? Exciting time for space games on Linux. :-)

It's Newtonian but the engines are really a bit strong. So I'm not sure you'll need an arcade mode as the ship computer really keeps it under control for you I think he'll be fine. :-)

Hi Stranger. Thanks for getting us a space game on Linux :-)

So the main problem for me is a combination of what sounds like too low bit rate on the main engine sounds ( not sample rate but sounds like MP3 type compression with too low bit rate ) and how it responds ( once you're going at requested speed engines should turn off and be fairly silent ). Please don't take this as I don't love that you're doing this game and am absolutely happy to back it. And when turning Id like to hear the rcs thrusters fire when attitude changes and abruptly stop when it isn't. I'm certainly not the expert in space physics but I feel these tweaks would absolutely make the game for me. I'm even happy to have a crack at the sound design for free if that helps :-). Sorry to you and the rest of gol if I sound a bit conceited but I'm just excited and thanks again for helium rain :-)

Ok it's definitely not bad. Looks quite nice, for me the engine sounds need redoing but it is early access of course. I did a quick trade run as one of the missions required and quite liked it :) And - it's a space game on Linux :)

Excellent. I was thinking the other day while waiting for everspace and trying to get into Avorion beta, thinking about the cool game deva making a space game chatting to us about it being a Newtonian model. This is the one :-). Instabuy.
